The Wilbon Index: Top NFL teams

1) Saints - Still own the most impressive victory of the season, that beat-down of the Patriots.

2) Colts - This is a virtual tie. Is it possible that New Orleans being undefeated is bringing out the best in Indy, too?

3) Vikings - One loss in the desert to the reigning NFC champs shouldn't change our minds too much about Minny.

4) Chargers - Seven straight wins, playing better against the bad opponents they used to take for granted. Playing with an urgency we usually don't see until playoffs.

5) Cardinals - Playing with a physical toughness reflective of their coach, Ken Whisenhunt. Looking more like the Steelers lately than the Steelers.

6) Eagles - Visit to Giants Stadium this weekend may tell us everything we need to know about Philly.

7) Packers - Aaron Rodgers playing nearly as well as Brett Favre...and leads all QBs in rushing.

8) Patriots - Is that a hint of desperation we're seeing in New England, what with Belichick going for it on fourth-and-anything and sending players home for being late in the snow?

9) Cowboys - I've got a sneaky suspicion the Cowboys are going to play well against San Diego this week. If they don't, the December swoon is in full effect.

10) Broncos - Keep bouncing back when you least expect it. Games at Oakland and at Philly make home division games with K.C. and Oakland must wins.
